I own a 100-400L, and it is indeed a very nice lens. But if I were buying now, I'd wait for reviews of the new Tamron 150-600 before making a decision. If the Tamron is reasonably sharp (as early reviews tend to indicate it is), and if its AF is reasonably fast and accurate (which the early reviews are less clear on), then the Tamron--with its additional 200mm of reach--may well be the way to go.
